Bennett Jackson switched to safety for Giants rookie minicamp

Bennett Jackson didn't even play defense in high school.

He was a wide receiver, recruited by Notre Dame at the position and playing it for his first two seasons in South Bend. It was at that point coaches decided that he would be better off on the other side of the line of scrimmage and he was converted to cornerback.

It involved a whole new vocabulary, a whole new technique package, a whole new mindset.

So moving from corner to safety this offseason? That's hardly a switch at all.

"I'm happy with it," Jackson said.
